[Fiddling with it until sound starts:]

Cursed contraption! What fool designed this thing!?

[More fiddling until... AHA! Video! Only the Valkyrie's shoulders and head are visible, piece of armor visible and a feathered helm.]

Damn these human devices. What use has a god for such trivial objects?

[Not. Happy.]

I am Lenneth Valkyrie. I've been observing what people say, when I can manage to work this... thing. This world is nothing like the Midgard I left behind. Or any of the other realms I have walked through in the years that I was awake.

I have seen things fly in the sky that belong to no species of bird that I recognized. I feel I should be cautious when sharing the skies with them. What other things are there to be wary of in this city of metal?

[Voice]

[The voice is low and sounds furious, at some points sounding as though he’s speaking through clenched teeth.]

Jesse, where the hell are you?! I was on top of the parking deck a couple of minutes ago and now I’m in some city I don’t recognize. Why aren’t you answering your goddamned phone?! And where the hell did your voicemail go?

I rescued you after you went and got yourself kidnapped not a few hours ago and now you won’t pick up? If you ruined this by getting yourself kidnapped again--[He stops abruptly, too seemingly angry to complete his thought.]

Call me back the second you get this.

Please pray that this plague passes over us and our children. A collection will be taken for the destitute and ill.
[OOC: This revival meeting is fervent with energy and crowded with curious sick locals, many of whom are coming to the Cathedral for the first time, and also long-time followers of the cult. Many at this service will be miraculously cured, their symptoms vanishing immediately after being prayed over or confessing the things that make them feel guilty. Those susceptible to psychic influence may, by a tug of supernatural inclination coming from somewhere in the room, become caught up in the excitement. Some will be healed completely. For others, their faith in its effectiveness may prove temporary, however, and symptoms may return anywhere from a few hours to a few days later For locals in this neighborhood, the ‘miracle’ healings will be a subject of awed conversation on every street corner.]

[This starts out as voice, though it's obvious Soma's regretting that choice. He sounds really raspy, and his voice can barely get above a whisper.]

I'm not really fe-- [COUGHCOUGH] --feeling that-- [COUGHCOUGHCOUGH] ...dammit.

[And this is the point where he gives up on the whole talking thing.]

I haven't been feeling well. I think I caught that flu going around. I'm going to be out of school for a few days, and I'll keep myself to my room so I don't infect anyone else in the house.

Sorry, everyone.

So, lately, I've been thinking. What's the general state of everybody being able to handle themselves in a fight against a big ugly? Lots of 'em around, and there's night patrol and everything, but does anybody ever offer self-defense and weapons use classes? Not saying I need 'em - just that I'd like to step up and do the job myself if nobody else's got a monopoly on that particular chunk of the market. Having people who do know how to fight and take care of themselves is all fine and dandy, but wouldn't it be better to help prepare everybody else on top of that? And if anybody else does already do this kinda thing, any chance y'might be hiring an extra hand? I'm an expert on pretty much any type of weapon you can think of. Not a big fan of guns, but I'll use 'em in a pinch.

LOCKED TO WILLOW ROSENBERG ;; UNHACKABLE.

Whatcha say you and I go find mochas? And discuss the possibility of getting an apartment together once your free lease time is up? I'm staying at a hotel right now. Kinda temporary. If you're interested we can start looking, and I can start a hey-let's-get-living-spacey fund.

END LOCK.

LOCKED TO ANGEL ;; UNHACKABLE.

So should I get a uniform for this bouncer thing? Or is it a come-as-you-are situation.

END LOCK.

[ The camera turns on after a short moment of fumbling around. A boy around thirteen looks into the camera almost cautiously before he begins speaking. He seems very nervous. Another thing you might notice is how dirty the clothes - or rather, his orange and green uniform is. It’s smudged with mud as if he has been rolling in it. ]

Um, hello! I am not used to making this kind of call - or is it a post …? Oh. That’s not the important part, is it? I was trying to ask if—

AUUUGH!!!

[ A very distressed shout echoed from across the baseball field and another boy, wearing a distinct orange headband, was arguing with a Greeter and not really understanding what the person was trying to tell him. ]

Like. I. Said! It’s called the Football Frontier International and I need to get back to play in the final match—!

… Endou-san!? Endou-san! Y-You’re here too!!

...Eh? ...Ah! Tachimukai!

[ In a flash, the post and the poor Greeter are soon forgotten as both boys run up towards each other to meet halfway. ]

[ Insert manly corner tears here as he shakes his friend. ] You’re here! That's great... [ A beat. ] No wait. No it's not! That means both goalkeepers will be late for the match!

[ ...Tachimukai looks down, distressed. ] I don’t know if we can even make it Football Frontier like this. What if something dangerous is behind our kidnapping, like the incident with Aliea Meteorite?

...You mean... aliens...

Eh? … Well, I guess so …

[ Endou crosses his arms. ] Well, okay. I guess we can’t say for sure, but just in case...

[ Oh hey, NV. Endou finally notices your existence and he places the speaker against his ear just like any old cellphone while smooshing the camera in the process (because those things can record too? Daaamn, he did not know that) and proclaims loudly for all to hear: ]

Can you hear me, aliens or whoever you are! I don’t know what you want, but—

I challenge you guys to a soccer match! If we win, you’ll have to take us back where we came from!

[ No resistance from you, you stubborn extraterrestrials! ]

Eeeeeeeeeeh?

[ ooc: Tachimukai is in blue and Endou in orange. Any taggers will be receiving a thread from each boy! ]

I feel as if I'm the only one in this city that isn't sick. I chalk this up to my copious hand-washing and genetically engineered immune system.

[Sheldon sounds pretty okay, all things considered. He doesn't really do guilt. Or anything except basic incredulity. So he's chilling like a villain in his new Sector Two apartment.]

I've been working on calculating the spread of the illness from Ground Zero. Anyone who wishes to contribute can text me whatever they discover. Don't come see me in person. I am not going to run out of hand sanitizer because people want to be friendly. Or sociable.

I don't want your cooties.

[ Oz is tired, but a pleased expression crosses his face as he turns on the video. Someone finally decided to wake up properly after almost two days of being passed out and it wasn't Oz. That was Gil. Although Oz had to admit, forcing Gil to take his medicine had been kind of fun... ]

With everyone getting sick, it made me wonder. If you're feeling down, what do you do to cheer yourself up? Seems like the more you fret the worse it gets. [ stress was never a good thing to have when you're ill. You never sleep properly. Ever. ]
